Tom K in the local club was having the same problem, same clutch, same trans, same deal. He ended up making a longer shaft for the slave cylinder, and made it adjustable no less. He also doesnt have that problem anymore. What you can do about it, I dunno... but it seems that something custom or a different clutch is the solution unfortunately. (Or a different throwout bearing?)

If you wanna email me I have a name of someone that would at least be interested in the problem. It seems to me its Centerforce related seeing as how you are not the only one experiencing this. Maybe its a throwout bearing deal... In any case, I'm sure he would like to know or knows about it.
